      If you google him he appears to be the author of book on shooting in 1903 and drill in 1914. Paul

      Thanks Nick, nice to see Garter attachments that are obviously genuine. The late Ernst Blass created dozens of such insignia Paul

      What's the provenance of the two gartered stars? Paul

      Dave is right it is a copy of a 500 kuursh of Abdul Aziz, year 7 (1867). I have seen similar to these before sometimes in bronze-gilt. Paul

      The medal fits as snug as a bug as you can see there isa spce for a triangular ribbon which rules out a Danish case Paul

      Ah I see it is also the sixth type (regency) 1934-41 however I can't see any obvious difference between the two types. Paul

      I have just come across a Serbian Royal Household medal, Fourth type 1921-27, 'gold' medal, with crown, in case of issue. Looking at various sources I have not been able to find a similar piece, interestingly Car only illustrates a silver example. How rare are they, do they ever turn up in auctions in Belgrade? Any help gratefully received. Paul

      Nice that it is officially impressed. Well done. Paul

      Sorry I meant the KZAU-AK-230 as the inspiration for the Daleks
    15. paul wood
      Now we know where they got the idea for the Daleks in Dr Who. Paul

      Amazing, I would have thought that they could mount a full scale war with the exhibits in the museum. Thanks for sharing. Paul

      Well done, I suspect there are many members who would be happy to offer you a profit on your 20 euros. Paul

      Suprisingly well made compared to many communist issues, do you have images of any of the other badges? Paul
    19. paul wood
      Thanks for the links Nick (My computer automatically translates Russian). Nice to see images of the real thing instead of the fakes which have bedevilled the market for longer than I care to remember as Russain Civil War pieces were always well collected long before the Russian boom started. Paul

      Sorry my confusion . Paul
    21. paul wood
      Thanks Guy, The ribbon really confused me into thinking it was Bavarian. Well made for an unnofficial piece. Paul
    22. paul wood
      Sorry Iver can't see the crown but what an absolute beauty. Paul

      That's the house he lived in but without the double-glazing,pebble dashing and cars (and dont forget it was in black and white in those days). Paul
    24. paul wood
      Thanks Nick, saved me a bit of work
